Better Vanilla Building Overlays Resource Pack adds natural terrain edges for the main Better Vanilla Building pack. It brings back block overlays for grass, dirt, and sand so your world looks more put together. You need to use both packs at the same time so the new edges match the blocks correctly.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the main Better Vanilla Building pack for this to work?
Yes, you must have both packs enabled at the same time. The Overlays pack adds edges that match the specific block textures from the main pack, so using only one will cause misalignment or missing overlays.
What blocks get overlay edges?
The pack adds natural edges for common terrain blocks like grass, dirt, and sand where they meet other block types. These overlays blend the blocks together to create smoother transitions across your landscape.
Why do my overlay edges look misaligned or blurry?
Check that both the main Better Vanilla Building pack and the Overlays pack are loaded in the correct order in your resource pack list. The Overlays pack should typically load after the main pack so its edges display correctly.
Can I use this with other terrain or building resource packs?
This pack is designed specifically to work with Better Vanilla Building and may not align properly with other packs that change block textures. For best results, use it only with the main Better Vanilla Building pack.
